  1. Best Wrap Training/Seminars - Thoughts?

    In addition to wrap install training, there should be wrap design training. So many of the wraps out there are functionally useless branding/marketing/advertising pieces and are no more than a complete waste of the clients money. Paging the S101 design pros......I've got a concept for ya!
  2. Is that the best you can do?

    Does that say "Signs in Seconds" in the bottom rt corner? Brilliant Pat!!!
  3. Client requested black PVC - Here's what I've come up with

    standard PVC post sleeves + black rustoleum + 10-15% lacquer thinner (yes, not paint thinner) spray away. great coverage and you cant get that shiz off. Those black recycled milk jug posts will twist up like a twizzler in the sun.......
  4. It's here it's here!

    Agree with Mike, put a CNC cutter of some sort on your list next. You are gonna need it. Almost everything here (minus maybe basic coro wall cutter stuff) gets CNC cut. Nothing better than loading a full sheet, printing, then cutting, and getting a finished product with almost no hand work...
  5. Nature Woven Buy at Cost Promotion from Bigfish!

    BF, you can add gandi 1224 with nazdar ink to the list. Thanks for the lead on this stuff!
  6. Nature Woven Buy at Cost Promotion from Bigfish!

    This is great stuff. Seriously, it's beautiful. Slightly washed out, natural effect on the latex, and on the flatbed heavier color and a bit less texture coming through in heavy coverage areas. But it will stink your shop up worse than a street market in the far east. If you like the smell of...
  7. Box Truck Panels don't line up

    Surprised no one mentioned the laminator and it's added role in stretching panels via varying tension on the media feed and lam feed. Back up one step, table check the prints before lam, and after lam. Will help you narrow down the issue. If you are applying app tape in the laminator, then check...
  8. How can this company get away with crap?

    Agreed with Pro, transit work. Bottom dollar commodity type stuff sub a buck a foot to print and another to install. Busmark w liquid lam or no lam at all. Second only to the "going out of business" uhaul side type work.
  9. Future move!

    Nice move. Distressed property+creativity= potential!
  10. Address verbage on doors in NYC letter height

    Funny this came up. I have a client with 180+ (lost count) vans in the 5 boroughs. We initially put 3" letters on the vans. Guess what, they were getting tickets! They (NYC) were measuring EACH letter on the van, and a few were an 1/8th under. No joke, they got HUNDREDS of tickets. We changed...
  11. printer should have come with a warning label

    Turn off the wipe with each pass. Main kit will last Muuuuuch longer. HP defaults it to on, no surprise there.
  12. Come take this piece of junk

    Keep track of your downtime, and the opportunity cost of it. Base your suit on that. I'd bet it's way more than the cost of the printer. Oce took back my second Arizona 180 this way. It never ever worked right. Even had the best arizona tech here for a week straight. It was so bad they didnt...
  13. Someone else's marketing/customer policies...........

    Well, if you placed an $18k order with me, I'd cover that $75 in freight whether or not it was you or us that screwed up. Really, $75 on $18k. WTF are people thinking?
  14. L25500 silly question

    We overnight run ours in the dark all of the time. Not a problem at all.
  15. For all you shops that bring the pooch to work

    If pets in the office work for two of my clients, both doing well over 20 mil a year, I think they're fine in most sign shops. We have a half door in our lobby. If folks want to say hi to the girls, they can reach over, if not its like they are not even here. My girl(s) know our regular pick up...
  16. Installer

    Hey zeth if you get in a real bind and cant find someone we may be able to help you out.
  17. Jeti 3150 Low Vac problem

    My alarm guy had the same batteries in stock. $25 each. Quick change out and you should be back in business.
  18. NEED another L25500. Anyone got a NEW one?

    I too am looking for another L25 as well, prefer east coast or at least east side of the country.
  19. Now what do I do?...

    I don't care how good your profile is, but if you have 100% magenta and add cyan to that to make it look blue on screen, it's gonna print purple. Especially problematic if you make your blue on screen look blue using RGB color space. You could also pick a PMS color in flexi (say 286, for...
  20. I need someone with a 4Over account (Level 2+) to assist.

    LMAO, I guess they read this and the myriad other threads about the tiered access, as of this AM it's gone!
